LORDS TO LOSE POWER.
Amendments to Veto Bill are With
drawn or Rejected.
London , July 7 The consideration
of the veto hill for the curtailment of
the powers of the lords was concluded
in the house of lords. Although num
erous amendments were proposed by
members , all were withdrawn or re
jected. The debate throughout dis
played great restiveness on the part
of the peers against their leaders and
there were significant differences in
opinion. Lord St Aldrwyn , who as
Michael Edward Hicks was chancel
lor of the exchequer in 1885 and again
in 1895-1902 , the financial authority on
the conservative side , more than once
declined to vote with his party.
The house of lords shows the great
est reluctance to yield its control of
money bills. As the bill leaves the
lords it commits to a joint committee
of six members of the two houses
the power of deciding whether or not
any bill Is a money bill a power
which the government bill reposes in
the speaker of the house of commons
alone. Further the same committee
will have virtual power to refer any
important bill to a referendum of the
people.
July 13 has been fixed by the lords
as the report stage and when the bill
goes back to the commons it is cer
tain that the amendments will be re
jected en bloc. What course the lords
will then adopt is uncertain , but the
strongest influences are being brought
to bear from the strongest section of
the unionist party to the peers , the
leaders forcing the government to in
voke the creation of 500 peers. After
clause two of the parliament bill re
lating to bills other than money bills
was passed the debate proceeded on
a new clause , moved by Lord Crouier ,
providing for the appointment of a
joint committee of the two houses to
determine the character of the bills
and to decide whether they come with
in the veto provisions differentiating
between general and monetary bills ,
leaving it to the speaker of the house
of commons alone to determine what
constitutes the latter and requiring
the house of lords to pass it without
amendment , within one month after
receiving the bill , otherwise it shall
become law without the lord's consent

Both men were summoned to plead
to nineteen-charges of murder , the re
sult of the destruction of the Times

was expected to plead to the charge
of conspiracy to destroy the Llewellyn
Iron works. Instead , he challenged
the Jurisdiction of the court , claiming
that it had no right to exact a plea on
either the nineteen charges of inurdei
or the Llewellyn Iron works indict
ment because he was oxtradlcted from
Indianapolis not for murder , but foi
alleged dynamiting.
A motion for the quashing of the
indictments waa made by Jamea Me
